My internet connection dropped and still hasn't resumed. It's not on my end. I've restarted all computers on the network, the hub, and the cable modem. I'm blaming Cox. I didn't call them last night because it was late. But since my connection's still down, I'm calling in a few minutes.

hrm... according to this page the network was scheduled for maintenance from 2am to 8am this morning. Which makes me wonder why I lost connectivity at 9:30pm last night.

Okay, the big paper is due on Thursday, so I really don't think that I'll be in any position to do writing group this week. I leave for home next week, where I have pretty much no internet connection. So I think I'm pretty much out for the rest of the year at least. To be honest, it's not really working for me while I'm in school at all--I'm not writing anymore, and much as I love to give others feedback, I'm not a fully functioning member of the group when I'm not also writing myself. Perhaps I should just drop out till I graduate.

Don't drop out! I wasn't really writting before NaNo. I think you should stay in.

Besides, I like talking to you.

I can still talk to you if I'm not in writing group. We'll have to see how the semester goes. I'm going to try to write some in the next few weeks before class starts again, as well.

I'll be laying over in Chicago for the night, so not good for me.

So, writing groupers, are we defunct? Even if we are, I have a question. Does anyone have a favorite chapter of what we workshopped of Black Bull? Can anybody even remember back that far? I need a sample of my work that's less than 20 pages. So far it seems like chapters 2 and 3 would be best, but perhaps the climbing of the Giant's Staircase would be interesting, too. Anyone have an opinion?

Oh, and I have Wed. nights back again, so if we wanted to meet tomorrow night, we could.

EDIT: And if Wed. doesn't work so well anymore, we could pick another night.

I can't remember, but I think that's mostly do to my hiatus while moving, etc.

I'd like to start up WG again, but Mathias is being extremely fussy lately which is sabatoging my attempts to clean up one of the 3 chapters I wrote for NANOWRIMO so that I can submit it. I wish I could be more helpful. :(

How about my other question, though. Do you remember enough of my story to say, "This was my favorite part"?

I'm all for restarting the group. I haven't written since I did NaNo, and I know that NaNo needs a lot of changes first. I've just been too busy to write much, with job search, etc.

I can meet for an hour though. Tonight might be tough, since I'll have my three kids PLUS my brother-in-law to watch and I'm not sure when that will all be done. I guess 9ish would do. If they're not back then, someone's in for it.

That what I meant with "I can't remember." And I don't know that I've read everything yet (due to no connection after moving).

When do you need to know? I can't promise to reread them today, but I think I could by the end of the week.

9 ASST (counts on her fingers) means 6 for me, which works as long as I get dinner ready ahead of time. I figured out how to get Trillian 3.0 to work with IRC (just needed to load a plugin) when my husband switch to XP on this machine, so I will be there.
